Microsoft Azure Integration and Security Training

This 4 day training helps you prepare for the Microsoft AZ-101 certification exam.

Duration

4 Days

Outline of Microsoft Azure Integration and Security Training

Day 1 (AZ101T01)

Module 1: Managing Azure Active Directory

In this module, you will be introduced to Azure migration projects and specifically Azure Migrate. Azure Migrate will be your tool of choice for automated server discovery and workload sizing. You will step through the process of using Azure Migrate to create a project, create a collector, assess machine readiness, and estimate cost.

Lessons

Overview of Cloud Migration

Azure Migrate: The Process

After completing this module, students will be able to:

Use Azure Migrate to discover and assess on-premises virtual machine migration to Azure.

Module 2: Azure Site Recovery

In this module, you will be introduced to Azure Site Recovery (ASR). ASR will be your primary tool for migrating workloads to Azure. You will learn which scenarios are most appropriate for ASR and the features that the product provides. You will also learn how to use the ASR deployment planner to ensure your infrastructure is ready for migration. Lastly, you will walk through the process of implementing ASR on a Hyper-V infrastructure.

Lessons

Overview of ASR

Preparing the Infrastructure

Completing the Migration Process

After completing this module, students will be able to:

Use Azure Site Recovery to migrate Hyper-V infrastructures to Azure.

Module 3: Additional Migration Scenarios

In this module, you will complete your study of Azure migration by looking at two different migration scenarios. In the first scenario you will see how to migrate VMware vSphere Hypervisor virtual machines to Azure using ASR. In the second video series we will migrate System Center VMM Hyper-V machines.

Day 2 (AZ101T02)

Module 1: Introducing the Azure App Service Platform

In this module, you will be introduced to the Azure App Services Platform. You will learn about app service plans, web app hosting options, app service scenarios and how to monitor apps. You will also learn about how to isolate apps with App Service Environments.

Lessons

Introducing Azure App Service

App Service Environments

After completing this module, students will be able to:

Implement use cases and configuration options for Azure App Services and App Service Environments.

Module 2: Managing and Securing Web Apps

In this module, you will learn how to deploy your app with minimal downtime. You will also learn how to backup, restore, snapshot, and clone your app. Lastly, you will implement security features like authentication options and authentication providers.

Module 3: Scaling and Performance

In this module, you will learn how to ensure your app performs under various workloads. You will learn how to scale up and scale out your app. You will learn how to automatically scale your app and to grow out the app through geo-distribution. Lastly you will learn how CDN provides a way to optimize bandwidth and web traffic.

Module 4: Deploying Serverless Computing Solutions

In the module, you will learn what serverless computing is and what it provides. You will implement three serverless computing solutions: Azure Functions, Event Grid, and Service Bus. Azure Functions provide small pieces of code, or "functions," that run in the cloud. Event Grid is a service for managing routing of all events from any source to any destination. Service Bus multi-tenant cloud messaging service that sends information between applications and services.

Lessons

Serverless Computing Concepts

Managing Azure Functions

Managing Event Grid

Managing Service Bus

Managing Logic App

After completing this module, students will be able to:

Deploy serverless computing features like Azure Functions, Event Grid, and Service Bus.

Day 3 (AZ101T03)

Module 1: Distributing Network Traffic

In this module, you will learn about three ways to distribute network traffic: Azure Load Balancer, Azure Traffic Manager, and Azure Application Gateway. The Azure Load Balancer delivers high availability and network performance to your applications. The Azure Traffic Manager allows you to control the distribution of user traffic to your service endpoints. The Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications.

Module 2: Site Connectivity

In this module, you will learn and implement two ways to connect your virtual networks: Site-to-Site VPN Connections and ExpressRoute. Site-to-Site VPN connections provide secure tunneling for cross-premises and hybrid configurations. ExpressRoute extends your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a dedicated private connection facilitated by a connectivity provider.

Implement and configure Network Watcher and troubleshooting common network issues.

Day 4 (AZ101T04)

Module 1: Introduction to Identity Protection in Azure

In this module, you’ll learn about Role-Based Access Control as the foundation to organizing and managing an organization’s administrative access based on the principle of least privilege. You will also review Azure Active Directory concepts, as well as gaining insight into the threat landscape and security risks that are exposed to IT organizations through breach of privileged access.

Lessons

Role-Based Access Control

Azure Active Directory (Refresher)

Protecting Privileged Access in the Environment

After completing this module, students will be able to:

Use Azure RBAC to grant a granular level of access based on an administrator’s assigned tasks.

Module 2: Using Multi-Factor Authentication for Secure Access

In this module, you’ll learn about securing the sign-in process through Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). You’ll learn how MFA works and the differences in implementation between on-premises and cloud scenarios. You’ll also learn about using conditional access policies to provide more fine-grained control over apps and resources in your environment.

Lessons

Introducing Multi-Factor Authentication

Implementing MFA

After completing this module, students will be able to:

Use Azure Multi-Factor Authentication to configure a strong authentication for users at sign-in.

Module 3: Azure AD Privileged Identity Management

In this module, you’ll learn how to use Azure Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to enable just-in-time administration and control the number of users who can perform privileged operations. You’ll also learn about the different directory roles available as well as newer functionality that includes PIM being expanded to role assignments at the resource level.
